What equipment were they using into MCO? Lots of little birds? Would be great to see an AM 777 come into MCO!

Yes my guess would be a cruise ship. You fly in/out of Orlando from wherever your home is, then meet the ship there, or connect to a flight to meet the ship in Acapulco, Cozumel, etc. Many people take the ship from Florida to Mexico and back, or get on the ship in Mexico OR Florida and ride it one way and fly back.

I'm still not sure if it's for a cruise ship tough, might just be extra holiday traffic.

MCO gets the 737-700s and sometimes the -800s. They have incresed the number of flights recently but about a year ago or so it was mostly with MD80 and 757. I'm not sure if any of those 8 flights were wi/ a widebody.
